Erez, All of the disqualifications occured in the first round, and I don't believe any of the disqualified entries authors have been visible around the site in that time or since.

All the same, it would be nice to see who did.  If you don't wish to
disclose the information, though, why not just come out and say so?

I would assume BWII wasn't disqualified and was in fact not voted for
well, due to a bad case of rehash disease.  I honestly don't know what
came over me.

Well, <strong>I</strong> wouldn't want to say because I wasn't running the contest, Hans was, and thus it would be Hans' decision. Also, since I only saw the correspondence that went through the main account, as opposed to being e-mailed directly to Hans, I don't really know exactly who might have been eliminated due to not voting, however I do know that there were very likely far less votes cast than designs submitted.

I'll leave the disqualified issue alone then :)

I have to say that although the finalists and the winners very much
reflect my votes in the contest, I'm very disappointed that Inside-out
chess didn't get more votes and that Hole Chess wasn't named among the
winners. I found both games to be quite entertaining in playtesting. I
have also played Hole Chess a couple of times on the Game Courier since my
original votes and it is still quite enjoyable.

So, if I (Leap Chess) failed to make the top eight out of 20 (2nd round),
and there were multiple disqualified entries for non-voting, and also
rehashed pre-existing variants adapted for 44 squares, ...
Let's just move ahead to 2005.
